What it helps
Builds overall strength with bands or weights — the foundation of a strong, capable body.
How to do it
- Use resistance bands or light weights for the major muscle groups.
- Move slowly through a full, comfortable range.
- Add resistance gradually as you get stronger.
Tips
- Maintain tall posture and a relaxed neck.
- Quality of movement over load.
Commonly done as 2 sets of 10–15, 2–3 times a week.
